Pamplemousse Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Week commencing the first dates - unlikely the games will be on a Monday and Tuesday - that means the Leicester game will move from 23rd too. https://www.premierleague.com/news/119335 Moves to the Sunday, 12pm kickoff.

Dusic Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Really good. Suprised we were able to play so well with so many changes and on paper not the greatest looking attack. Boufal was good forst half but all the centre mids - Clasie, Reed and Davis, were our best players IMO. Tough draw but thats likely in a semi final.

sfc4prem Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 We would have to play a "tough team" to win the cup anyway. We've shown we're good enough to win away at Arsenal in this competition so why not away to Liverpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Great performance tonight, two very well taken goals and another clean sheet is good to see. Gutted to have gotten Liverpool in the Semis though, would fancy our chances in a one off final where anything could happen, can't see us getting much from a two legged affair, especially having to go to Anfield second.

They look much more likely title contenders and may be focussed on their tough league games either side. 4.

OttawaSaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 The weekend immediately before the first leg is the 3rd Round FA Cup. Hopefully we will draw a non-league team at home and put out the U21s.

woodsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Yoshida has been excellent anytime hes been called upon this season.

SaintTex Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Like itsays the team that just played Leeds. They can **** off.

Sour Mash Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Cracking win, very good performance from us, could easily have been a couple more. Only couple of moans, didn't feel like a cup 1/4, people streaming out before end; and why do the draw so quickly, killed the mood a bit post match.

Baird of the land Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Watched it in arsenal end which involved much sitting on hands. Was pretty happy when I saw teams announced.

eelpie Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 (edited) Southampton make 8 changes to mighty Arsenal's 6 changes and no way deserved to beat Wenger's dreadful title-chasing-pride-of-the-capital team. Only poor defending allowed this makeshift southern (somewhere down there) side lucky victory, spoiling Wenger's last chance to win the EFL cup. Fantastic!

John Boy Saint Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Absolute mare with public transport today for lots of people. Just missed the first goal for the first time ever thanks to the travel carnage, then the pat down at the gate. Just going towards the stairs to our seats you heard the roar then went "hang on that's ours making the racket". Good performance nice play, and even Mr Friends generosity in giving super soft fouls to Arsenal failed. Radio 5 already banging on "Southampton beat a weakened Arsenal side" hang on a cotton picking moment please tell me how often Boufal, Clasie, Davis, Reed and McQueen play together in midfield. I can't believe from reading on here that some bellends got their knickers in a twist over the team selection, my mates Wife who is proper Arsenal mental was spitting chips at Arsenes selection, I took a quick squizz at the Beeb saw Claude's selection and thought blimey we are going for this!! I went to Sunderland, Sheffield United, and the Liverpool games over the last few seasons so it was good to see us go for it in players picked, and effort put in.............. Someone is going to get smashed to bits by us sooner or later this season. Back to my mates Wife post match she was (surprisingly) impressed by us, and thought Young Sam and that oriental looking chap at the back were both very good, she did think that Ramsey was @&£?%#€$¥ rubbish. Drive home was a bloody pain though, the cone trolls were out in force, M3 closed - no problem oh M4 closed at Reading for the Cone Troll Christmas Party, little travel app says tail backs 4 miles before junction - country lanes it was then. Still bloody good win........ Bring on the bin dippers, always nice to do them at least once a season: why not make it twice just for fun then mess up whoever we meet in the final.

Kingsland Codger Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Just seen the recorded highlights of the Channel 5 show - the presenter, George Riley ... I like the cut of his jib; lots of positive things about Saints and he didn't fall into the 'under strength Arsenal' trap and likewise the match commentator who had a similar approach. From those highlights, we looked very neat, stylish and at times, marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Great win but I am afraid it will all be in vain because taking the st Mary's game into consideration there is no way we will beat Liverpool over two legs. Someone who has been around as long as you should know football is a funny old game. Of course if Liverpool play their strongest team we'll find it very difficult. But you never know, injuries after busy Christmas period will be a factor, plus there are also 2 rounds of the FA cup in January, fingers crossed we are home to non-league team and Liverpool get Everton or Man Utd to go alongside their tough league fixtures that month. Liverpool fans I know want the title so badly I think they'd support a weakened team in this cup. The draw was disappointing so soon after a good win, wonder how many tickets we'll get? Leeds had over 5000 and Stoke also had whole end in semi final last year. Would love to win this, I despise Liverpool, the club, the fans and the city.

Being from the North East I've booked to fly from Newcastle on the Monday and booked a hotel in Southampton, now all for nothing! But HEY HOOOOOOO!!!!
